As of today, I’m trying out a different way of working. Instead of setting out to do a job overreachingly perfectly and letting it take the time it takes, I’m starting at the time-end. The first thing I’ll do is simply to say to myself “I can spend a maximum of x hours on this” and then adjust the quality of the work accordingly. When time is up, the work is done.
Not that you care. I’m only writing this because I want to be able to go back six months from now when this plan of mine has burst into a million little electrons and laugh at my own naivety.
Anyway, it worked for 60 Minutes.

How are you doing with this? Curious since we are in the same line of work and since I have been struggling with perfectionism since like…forever…
It’s working out sort of ok. I’m still struggling but I believe I’m making progress. The hardest bit is to actually remember to tell myself “you can only work on this for x hours now, got it?” before starting. But when I do, I do get more focused and work more productively.
Good luck!
